Summer is gone, and October has arrived. With the busy holiday season on the horizon, October is a great time to score deals on travel around the world. Here are some of our favorite picks for cheap October vacations.

3 Cheap Vacations for October 2019

new-orleans

1. New Orleans

I've been to New Orleans in both the summer and winter- trust me, the winter had better weather! October should have temperatures in the 70's, and hotel prices still low before the Mardi Gras season kicks in. A quick search on Expedia shows many French Quarter hotels going for less than $150 per night.

2. Michigan

We've written about Michigan when we wrote about cheap beach vacations. While that won't be happening in October, warm-ish temperatures (for Michigan, at least) still exist during the month, allowing you to explore hiking trails, lighthouses, and maybe take in a college football game or two.

3. Bali

While definitely shoulder season between their dry winter season and wet summer season, Bali's 5-star resorts are a steal during October. Crowds have disappeared, leaving resorts like the Conrad Bali with rooms going for less than $200 a night. I'd use Expedia to search for flights and hotel packages.
